Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath - breathing while http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep - sleeping . The sound may be soft or loud and unpleasant. The structures are usually the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatine_uvula - uvula and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_palate - soft palate . The irregular airflow is caused by a blockage, due to causes including:
- Throat weakness causing the throat to close during sleep
- Mispositioned jaw, often caused by tension in muscles
- Fat gathering in and around the throat
- Obstruction in the nasal passageway
Snoring is known to cause sleep deprivation to both the snorer and those who hear them, as well as knock-on effects: daytime drowsiness, irritability, lack of focus, decreased libido. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoring#_note-3 - [4] It has also been suggested that it can cause significant psychological and social damage to sufferers.

I don't snore.........
The head on the pillow next to me snores only if he is unwell, or times of stress....or he can suffer from "singers snore" (If he is working a lot he will snore) At the moment he is working a lot.......the snoring shakes the very foundations of the house.....and yes I am suffering from daytime drowsiness.........

I don't know. If I snore, it only happens when I sleep. So far I
haven't gotten any complaints from my neighbours. Not that I sleep with my
neighbours. I don't sleep with anyone. I guess I can snore as much as I like. It's just that I don't know if I snore!

How can you get complaints from neighbors, for snoring?
(though that reminds me when I went to a pension in Sibiu, the walls were truly thin, I heard my piano teacher, across the next room, sleeping gently, plus a couple on the same floor did a couple of various nights: from sex to arguing...)

Maybe if I snored really loud? Anyway, I just got a great idea: What if
I made little notes that say "Please don't snore so loud or I'll have you evicted!" and put them
through my neighbours' letterboxes at night?

I am told that I snore... When I say "told" I mean that every now and again (especially if we've been to the pub where I may have drunk/smoked more than usual), I will be woken up by a very sharp elbow in the ribs...
... when this happens, do I hear snoring?
No.
Ergo, I am being lied to

Grinding of teeth is normal during sleep. I hear myself do that sometimes. I also have jerks and sometimes, I also talk during sleep.

At times -- when very inebriated, and sleeping on my back (I'm usually on my side).

Sleeping flat on your back may increase possibility of snoring. Gravity causes the structures of our throat to fall more posteriorly blocking the airwaves, which in turn cause vibrations, thus the classic snoring sound occurs. I think it's wise to wake up those who snore, so as to prevent complete blockage of the airways.

That is very considerate,Nevertheless,those that have tried to wake me from my snoring slumber have wished that they hadn't.
I have snored since I was about 11 years of age.I always fall onto my back during sleep and,therefore start snoring.
I was thinking of buying those strips that you stick across your nose that open up the nasal passages.But, to look like Adam Ant,even in my sleep,is just too much of a no-no.

you can have fairly lucid conversations with a sleep-talker, which is pretty freaky, more so when you realise that you are directly influencing their dream while they are having it. It's so tempting to say something like "wow, a giant squid on roller blades."

This is a tender subject for me. Let's just say my wife may one day kill me. If she doesn't, she will divorce me and some new wife will kill me.
To be frank, if you have not heard my snoring, you are probably not in the same hemisphere.
